Cheryl Strayed
“I never got to be in the driver’s seat of my own life,” she’d wept to me once, in the days after she learned she was going to die. “I always did what someone else wanted me to do. I’ve always been someone’s daughter or mother or wife. I’ve never just been me.” “Oh, Mom,” was all I could say as I stroked her hand. I was too young to say anything else.”
Cheryl Strayed, Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail

“Liars are exhausting people.”

“It is impossible for you to go on as you were before, so you must go on as you never have.”
Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

Cheryl Strayed
“You don’t need a reason to leave. Wanting to leave is enough. Leaving doesn’t mean you’re incapable of real love or that you’ll never love anyone else again. It doesn’t mean you’re morally bankrupt or psychologically demented or a nymphomaniac. It means you wish to change the terms of one particular relationship. That’s all. Be brave enough to break your own heart.”
Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life from Dear Sugar

“My entire life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned and that's okay.”
Rachel Wolchin
